Farmer's Wife Friday

We have been running around getting the house ready for Bennett's Lego birthday party this week, but I wanted to post a couple new blocks... so, it's really a Farmer's Wife Saturday afternoon when we are birthdayed out post.

Block 12: Broken Sugar Bowl

I used up more scraps: some leftover yellow, a bit of brown Japanese matryoschka, and some pink heath. Overall I'm happy with the sweetness, and the yellow brings in a bit more contrast. Apparently I don't use much green or yellow in my blocks.

Block 25: Cups and Saucers

Yep, another punny one. I just can't help myself! The coffee fabric is leftover from a '90s apartment kitchen curtain, the red from Aneela Hoey's Little Apples line. Don't look too close, you'll see all the unsewing I had to do!
